You can ask her to give you some time to adjust and see how you feel with her, I think trust will come itself when you are ready.
I don't know if you like writing, but I usually forget the important things as soon as I step into t's office, especially when I'm tense or very tired. As others wrote, maybe you can write your thoughts, concerns and the things/topics you feel you can start with while you are quiet and alone. And you can bring it in and have a look at it with t.
Good job about the session by the way.  |
I love writing, I carry a note book, where I have my current stressors of the here and now sectioned off, and then I have another section for the past csa then I have ptsd flashbacks and nightmares ect... that will not be shared with her anytime soon, the new t has told me in front of my current t, that she has big shoes to fill, and understands my anxiety, but wishes i can help her with my trust issue towards her, and i told her i didnt have and answer, the only thing i said was, that i like consistency in a t, honesty humor, not to beat around the bush, and to be a real person with me.
